The ever-growing field of Democrats declaring for the presidency seems to expand daily. One wonders why some of these candidates believe they have the possibility of a chance. Perhaps Donald Trump’s unexpected win inspires hope.

The divisions that defines the American voters today is so vivid that violence is a present threat.

Joe Biden is a centralist who at other times would be deemed too backwards in policy. Yet to Democratic primary voters in the constant noise of Trump, the radical demands of some progressives has the strongest appeal.

Independent voters who want to return to an America of norms find Biden their choice. Biden frightens Trump, validating he is the candidate who can defeat him.

With so many voices in the Democratic field drowning out each other, Biden’s nomination can only be derailed by Biden.
